Pray for peace in Myanmar.
We have hope in the Lord that His plan is good, and we know He has already triumphed over death, but the weight of suffering in a broken world is so heavy. Men, women, and children are injured and killed in the war here every day. Loved ones mourn. Bombing threats loom. So please, pray for peace.

"In the last days (...) The law will go out from Zion, the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. He will judge between the nations and will settle disputes for many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore." – Isaiah 2:2-4

Myanmar's civil war is the most fragmented conflict in the world as of December 2024, according to the ACLED (Armed Conflict Location & Event Data). More than 1,200 distinct armed groups are reported to have been involved in the violence. Myanmar is at the top of the ACLED index, alongside Palestine, Syria, and Mexico.

On the ground, for us and the people around us, that means constant threats of bombings, land mines, and battles. Soldiers and civilians alike take wounds. But living in one of the most dangerous places in the world hasn't stopped us from building clinics, training medical professionals and engineers, and treating patients. It only makes our mission more urgent.

Congratulations to the Class of 2026! They've officially graduated. These PA, E-tech, and natural farming students are ready to use the skills they've learned at RTC as real-world professionals. We couldn't be prouder of them.

We changed the graduation location at the last minute; there were concerns that such a large gathering might present a tempting target for bombing. Living and working in a war zone means worrying about that sort of thing, but it certainly doesn't stop us from celebrating. And every student who graduates brings us a step closer to a Myanmar that's safer, healthier, and better cared for.

February was a big month. Our E-tech and PA classes of 2026 finished all classes and tests, and we started the process of selecting new Year 1 students. Soon, boot camp will begin, kicking off the Year 1 students' time in our programs. And as all this was going on, battles raged nearby. We treated wounded. We treated civilians. We continued to build infrastructure and train up professionals. Our work never stops.

The main part of the job will be donor development, marketing, and some bookkeeping support.

If you think this might be up your alley, don't hesitate to send us an email with your resume. We look forward to meeting you!

The impossible becomes possible when people are willing to open their hands.

Maintaining a blood bank is no small thing; it requires constant power, considerable resources, and great care. We don't have the facilities to keep a traditional blood bank, but our generous and dedicated staff members, students, and neighbors make our walking blood bank possible. When a patient needs blood, someone here steps up to donate.

Eh Sel Gay just finished up her final year in the PA program. For now, she's still working here at RTC, but after graduation, she'll be off to work as a full PA at a clinic elsewhere in Karen State. It's what the PA program is all about: Ensuring all parts of Karen State are staffed with capable medical professionals. We're so proud of Eh Sel Gay and all her classmates!

We don't treat only soldiers at our mobile front-line clinic. We'll treat anyone who comes to us for help, and unfortunately, there are plenty of civilians in the immediate area, in and around the fighting. It's for people like these that we're trying to build health care infrastructure and train medical professionals in Karen State; we want everyday folks to have a safe, reliable place to seek treatment near their homes.

Almost a full year after these students kicked off their time in the PA program with boot camp, they sat for Year 1 final exams. Boot camp tested them mentally and physically, preparing them for the stress and difficulty of treating patients in a jungle war zone. Their exams tested the knowledge they've gained over a year of classes.

Our Year 5 PA students have taken their OSCEs (Objective Structured Clinical Examinations), finishing out their PA program. Next up, graduation! We gave some thank-you gifts to the participating patients who made the practical exams possible.

Earlier this month, our Thai Foundation donated supplies to schools near Mae Sariang. We took a water tank and filter to the boys' dormitory at Ban Lekho School, where 85 boys live. After that, we returned and distributed dry food to Karen Pow dormitory, where 35 students from the Mae Sariang area live.

Health for the Hidden

The Karen are a people group concentrated along the Thai-Myanmar border. As peace in Myanmar struggles forward, many Karens still scratch out a living as farmers. In mountain and jungle areas, little is left over for education or healthcare.

Since 2015, Earth Mission Asia has been operating a five-year Physician Assistant training program that is specifically designed around problems commonly found in rural villages. We are also developing training programs needed to support healthcare teams in in the jungle (i.e. engineering technology and administration). Our strategies are especially focused on empowering students from these areas.
